A consummate strategist, Grand Admiral Thrawn likened combat to art, and was an aficionado of both. He could cite inspirations, analyze motives and determine outcomes before his opponents had even consciously began formulating a move.
作为一名卓越的战略家,索龙元帅把战斗比作艺术,而且对这两者都很痴迷。甚至在对手明确攻击意图之前,他就可以获得灵感,分析动机,得出战果。
Thrawn's greatest weapon was his mind. This was long ago recognized by his people, the Chiss, who banished Mitth'raw'nuruodo for his dangerous ideas. The Chiss of Csilla are a disciplined species, advanced enough to build a sizable fleet and an empire over two dozen worlds. Thrawn's tactics were controversial in their boldness, and his activities within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet drew many a concerned, glowing red eye.
索龙最强大的武器就是他的思维。这很久之前就被他的人民——奇斯人——所发现。由于米特索龙努罗多的思想很危险,因此奇斯人驱逐了他。奇拉星的奇斯人是一个纪律严明的种族,其先进的科技足以建立一支庞大的舰队和一个超过二十四颗星球的帝国。索龙的策略因过于大膽而存在争议,他在奇斯扩张防御舰队内的活动吸引了许多关切、通红的目光。
The rest of the galaxy made first contact with the Chiss when a taskforce dispatched by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine stumbled upon Thrawn's fleet. The young blue-skinned commander was able to decimate the intruders despite inferior weapons and numbers.
最高议长帕尔帕廷派出的一支特遣队无意中遭遇索龙的舰队,这是银河系其它地区的居民第一次接触奇斯人。虽然在武器的数量和质量上都处于劣势,但这个年轻的蓝皮肤指挥官还是给入侵者造成重创。
The taskforce's commander, Kinman Doriana, asked Thrawn for a parley. The two conversed, and Doriana was able to appeal to Thrawn's cool sense of logic and order. He outlined his mission -- to destroy the incoming Outbound Flight vessel -- to Thrawn, spelling out the threat that this vessel filled with Jedi Masters posed to the Chiss people. Thrawn completed the mission that Doriana failed and destroyed the Outbound Flight project.
特遣队指挥官金曼·多里亚纳向索龙请求和谈。在两人交谈过程中,多里亚纳为索龙超凡的逻辑性和条理性所吸引。他向索龙概述了自己的任务——摧毁逼近的“离乡远征号”飞船,声称这艘飞船满载会给奇斯人带来威胁的绝地大师。索龙完成了多里亚纳没有完成的任务,摧毁了“离乡远征”计划。
Returning to Csilla, Thrawn was reprimanded for his hostilities. Though he explained that his actions were part of a pre-emptive strike to protect Csilla and the Chiss, the ruling houses could not wrap their minds around such radical concepts. Thrawn was placed under close observation. In time, his activities caused him to be altogether banished from the Chiss.
回到奇拉后,索龙为他的战争行为而受到谴责。尽管他解释道,为了保护奇拉和奇斯人,他的行为是先发制人的一部分,但执政家族无法接受这种激进的观念。索龙被置于紧密监视下。不久,他的行为导致他被彻底驱逐出奇斯族社会。
The Chiss's loss became Palpatine's gain. Agents of the new Emperor discovered Thrawn on a barren jungle world and took him into their ranks. Despite a strong policy against non-human officers in the Imperial Navy, Thrawn ascended the Imperial ranks.
奇斯人的损失变成了帕尔帕廷的收获。新皇帝的侦察员在一颗贫瘠的丛林星球发现索龙,把他带进帝国军队。虽然帝国海军有严格的政策反对非人类种族担任军官,但索龙还是在帝国军内一路高升。
Before long, Thrawn attained command of an Imperial Star Destroyer, the Vengeance. When he transferred to the Admonitor, he was given the thankless task of mapping huge areas of the Unknown Regions. When in the depths of the galaxy's backwater, Thrawn re-established contact with the Chiss, who in the interim had been besieged by all manner of encroaching threats. Thrawn, who had once been banished for his bold leadership, was now being lauded for it. Many Chiss longed for his return, and Thrawn secretly established a base of operations on the distant world of Nirauan.
不久,索龙获得帝国歼星舰“复仇号”的指挥权。被转到“忠告者号”上后,他得到了一个不值得感谢的任务——为广大的未知区域绘制星图。在深入银河系穷乡僻壤的同时,他与奇斯人重新建立了联系,当时奇斯人正被各种入侵威胁所包围。索龙,这个一度因指挥大膽而被放逐的人,现在正为此受到赞美。许多奇斯人盼着他回来。索龙在遥远的尼劳安星球秘密地建立了一个军事基地。
Returning to the Empire proper, Thrawn's star continued to rise unabated. He achieved the rank of Vice Admiral, and earned Vader's respect and access to his secret Noghri army. After helping dispose of the traitorous Grand Admiral Zaarin, Thrawn ascended to that rank himself.
体面地回到帝国后,索龙继续吉星高照鸿运不减。他被授予中将军衔,还赢得维德的尊敬。维德允许他使用秘密的诺格人军队。在帮忙解决掉叛变的扎林元帅后,索龙自己被晋升为元帅。
After the Battle of Hoth, Thrawn returned to Outer Rim mapping duty. His ascent to Grand Admiral went without notice by Alliance Intelligence, thus his existence remained a secret. After the fall of Palpatine at Endor, Thrawn returned to Nirauan. He did not return to the Empire until four years after Palpatine's defeat.
霍斯战役后,索龙回到外环继续他的勘测任务。他被升为元帅的消息丝毫没有引同盟情报部门的注意,所以他的存在始终是一个秘密。帕尔帕廷在恩多驾崩后,索龙返回尼劳安。直到帕尔帕廷殒命四年后,他才重返帝国。
Thrawn contacted Captain Gilad Pellaeon, and returned to the Imperial fleet. He then began a systematic campaign of retaking worlds in a bid to recapture Coruscant. His genius manifested itself best in constructing strategies from mere fragments of information. Thrawn was able to locate one of Palpatine's fabled storehouses, and there, found the technology necessary to begin growing a clone army. He found vessels for this army by discovering the long lost Katana Fleet. He recruited the maddened dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth and used his Force talents to better coordinate his scattered strikes. Thrawn also began to secure secret caches of cloned agents throughout the galaxy, ready to answer his call.
索龙联系吉拉德·佩雷恩舰长,返回了帝国海军。然后他开始有计划地实施夺回各个世界的战役,目标是重新占领科洛桑。他能通过少量残缺的情报拼凑出完整的战略,他的天才在这里体现得淋漓尽致。索龙发现了传说中帕尔帕廷的仓库之一,在那里,他找到了建立一支克隆人军队所必须的技术。他寻回长期失踪的锋刃舰队,为那支克隆人军队配备了飞船。他招募发疯的黑暗绝地乔鲁乌斯·瑟鲍思,利用他的原力才能来更好地协调他的多点打击。索龙也开始在全银河秘密安插克隆人特工,让他们随时待命。
Thrawn's greatest oversight was the compelling leadership of Leia Organa Solo. Leia identified and befriended Thrawn's secret Noghri attackers. On their polluted homeworld, Leia was able to prove that the Empire had long exploited the Noghri's sense of honor. She showed how it was the Empire who was poisoning their world, not saving it. Incensed, the Noghri turned against their Imperial benefactors. At the height of the Battle of Bilbringi, Thrawn's faithful Noghri bodyguard Rukh killed the Grand Admiral with an assassin's blade.
索龙最大的疏忽就是忽略了莱娅·奥加纳·索洛那令人注目的领导力。莱娅结识了索龙秘密的诺格族战士,与他们成为朋友。在他们受污染的母星,莱娅揭发了帝国长期利用诺格人荣誉感的阴谋。她向诺格人证明,是帝国毒害了他们的星球,而不是拯救了它。恼羞成怒的诺格人转而与他们的帝国保护人为敌。在比尔布林吉战役的激烈时刻,索龙忠实的诺格族护卫鲁克用刺客之刃杀死了这位元帅。
The Imperial forces scattered, reformed, and scattered again in the ensuing power vacuum. Ten years later, word of Thrawn's miraculous return began to spread. In truth, it was not Thrawn at all, but Imperial conspirators using Thrawn's name and identity. Thrawn did, though, have some sort of plan to return. During this time, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade made a chilling discovery on Nirauan: an incubating clone of Thrawn himself. The clone was killed before it ever drew breath, and the attempt to resurrect Thrawn's legacy was quashed.
在紧随其后的权力真空时期,帝国军分化,改革,再分化。十年后,关于索龙奇迹般回来的传言开始传播。事实上,那根本不是索龙,只是帝国的阴谋家利用了索龙的名字和身份。然而,索龙确实想到过卷土重来的计划。在此期间,卢克·天行者和玛拉·杰德在尼劳安膽战心惊地发现:一个发育中的索龙克隆人。这个克隆人在可以自主呼吸前就被杀了,复兴索龙遗产的企图被消灭在萌芽状态。
幕后
Grand Admiral Thrawn was the central villain in Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy of novels that began in 1991. Zahn likened developing strategies for Thrawn to playing a game of chess against himself -- he'd play both the New Republic and the Imperial sides of the match. Though Thrawn's fate was sealed at the end of the novel series, he continued to make other appearances as his popularity gained momentum. He was a supporting character in LucasArts' TIE Fighter space combat simulator, had a minor cameo in the Dark Forces series of novellas, and even turned up in a the Galaxy of Fear young reader series. Thrawn was immortalized in plastic as an Expanded Universe action figure in 1998.
索龙元帅是《索龙三部曲》小说集里的反面男一号。这套小说从1991年开始出版,由蒂莫西·扎恩撰写。扎恩把为索龙设计战略比作自己跟自己下棋——他既要扮演新共和国,也要扮演帝国。虽然索龙的命运在小说的结尾就已确定,但由于他的人气越来越旺,因此他继续在其它作品里出现。在卢卡斯艺界的《TIE战斗机》太空战模拟游戏中,他是一个配角。在《黑暗力量》系列小说中,他占一席之地。甚至在少年丛书《恐惧的银河》中,他也有出场。1998年,索龙作为“衍生宇宙活动人偶”被制成可以永远保存的塑料玩具。 |
